Questions on FUP

Hello,
I am utilising BT Total Broadband Option 3 and would like to know the details of the Fair Usage Policy. I am aware that it was 300GB, what I am looking for clarification on is whether the FUP has totally been removed for my package, as I have read somewhere that it was removed in April? I just wanted to make sure.
Regards,

Hi Sentrix and welcome,
Yes it's been removed. Have a read - http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/BT-TO-SCRAP-300GB-LIMIT/m-p/191217#M76393

Techinical question re FUP

I've been reading a previous post (which is now locked) regarding the 100GB useage limit. In this the moderators have mentioned some form of online useage monitor - which I have to search for myself.
In my household we have 4 computers (occasionally 5 depending on work needs), an Xbox360, Nintendo Wii an Ipod touch or 2 and now a TV which is connected directly for youtube/iplayer/internet etc. Oh I also believe that there is one of those PSP thingys which only has downloadable games.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any software that monitors useage across all of these devices and, from a purely technical assistance point of view, would be grateful if anyone could advise what I could use as a monitor.
Many thanks.

In general both the xbox and the Wii will not use too much bandwidth even if you use multiplayer on each of them.
Same goes for the Ipods, they will use a limited amount of data.
It would maily depend on your computers and how heavy each of the users are on all the computers, this would include your TV.
If all the computers use youtube regularly and stream some data then it would be possible to get upto the 100gb, but its still unlikely.
You would most likely get to around 60Gb or so.
To get above that means you would be streaming High Def content most of the time (1080i and above) youtube 720P files are not too big.
I have a youtube channel and put 720p videos up regularly.

FUP change question - overlimit on Infinity Option...

I heard from @BT_infinity on twitter that the FUP on Option 2 is now
- a 300Gb fair use limit
- 30 day restriction if hit
- restriction during peak hours
- THE NEW BIT --- restricted speed is 4 Mbps *not* 1 Mbs
Can anyone confirm this change. If so I'm getting more tempted since my current speed is only 4 Mbps (and hitting the limit isn't that likely)

Changes to Broadband Services - Billing Question

"Monthly usage limit – If you want to use more than the monthly usage allowance included in your broadband package, from 1 November 2010 additional usage will be charged at 5GB for £5 (instead of 1GB for £1)."
Does this mean that if you only go a little over your usage allowance you'll be charged £5.00 as you've used part of 5Gb, or that you won't be charged until a full 5Gb have been used?
Need an Admin response here please.

there are numerous posts on here looking for clarification. If you go over the 10gb limit then it is £5 whether 1gb or 5gb. Options 2 and 3 had the limits increased - option 2 up to 40gb and the FUP for 3 is now 300gb

Have BT Updated their FUP?

Hi guys, I've just checked out the FUP page on the BT website: Click Here
"BT continuously monitors network performance and reduces the speed available to very heavy users (typically less than 1 per cent of all customers) during a given month to ensure that the service received by other customers is not impacted through extremely heavy usage by a minority of people.
Customers who are classified as very heavy users will experience significantly reduced speed at peak times (typically 5pm-midnight every day but these times may change depending on the demand on the network) for a period of 30 days, or for as long as very heavy use continues. This applies to customers on all Options.
BT Total Broadband Option 3 and BT Infinity Option 2 allow unlimited downloads and uploads within the monthly rental price, so customers on these products will not be charged for over-use. However, this does not preclude BT from reducing your speed if you are a heavy user in order to protect the experience for the rest of our customers.
We may need to vary the policy from time to time to ensure the best possible experience for all our customers. This site will always be kept up to date with the latest information."
Does this mean that we can download as much as we like now out of peak times or does the "BT continuously monitors network performance and reduces the speed available to very heavy users (typically less than 1 per cent of all customers) during a given month to ensure that the service received by other customers is not impacted through extremely heavy usage by a minority of people." Contradict that?

It reads to me that all usage is measured, but that restrictions for heavy users are only put in place during peak hours. Just like it's always said, I think.

BT total broadband option 3 general questions

Potential new customer here but got some questions after speaking to BT customer services who have totally confused me so not exactly a good start.
I am looking at bt total broadband option 3 for 19.99 a month for 3 months and 27.99 there after and would love it if someone could clarify the following.
1. Does this package really come with unlimited wifi (openzone, fon) as BT customer services told me this is extra?
2. If I take out the mobile broadband option with 1gb is that a one time offer or do I get 1gb free each month?
3. If I ever go over the FUP of 300gb is it true my broadband will be throttled for 30 days?
Hopefully someone can clarify these questions for me.
Happy New Year!!!

3. if you go over the FUP your speed will get throttled from the point you broke it to the start of the next bill date so for example your bill dates is the 23rd of every month and you went over on the 15th your speed would be rock bottom till the 23rd.
Hi.
AFAIK the "peak times throttling" applies for 30 days, not until the billing start date. See :-

FUP Charge but not over usage limit

Hi,
I received an email today informing i have 'spent more than £10 on my account since my last bill' so i decided to check what the hell was going on as i have no idea what this could be.
So i look at my phone charges and they are worth £4.24, i thne checked my broadband usage monitor and its not over the 40gb limit, its under half way. However on my account it says there is a £20 FUP charge for 20gb!
How can there be a £20 charge this month when i havent gone over, i paid last months bill in full so can someone please tell me whats going on?
The last time a warning about usage was sent out it was on the 22/3/13 and informed me of a charge that was paid on a previous bill, so why is there a FUP charge now for 20gb shortly after i paid my bill when i have not gone over my usage limit since?

NoX81 wrote:
Current usage is irrelevant? Then what is the point of it?
Im basing this off of billing cycle dates that i've paid for and what i've used since.
Ok my previous billing cycle runs from 19/2 to the 18/3 - i paid the bill for that period on the 19/3
My billing area says: usage since March 19th (the date i payed my last bill) £24.24 (£20 of it is a FUP charge)
Yet with thre FUP charge it says:
All usage from 01 Mar 13 to 12 Apr 13: £20.000
I paid a bill that covered up to the 18/3 and since then have not gone over usage so why is there a charge for fair usage now?
I'll contact support but if anyone has a good reason for this i'd like to hear it.
the current usage is irrelevant for the current charge a usage is calendar months so from 1st April whereas the charge you have incurred will related to the last usage period which ended on 31 March
usage is calendar months but your billing period is as you have said totally different

Question - I've gone over my fair usage....

Erm, oops....!
So anyway, had BT Infinity installed recently and went a bit download happy etc. I'm now told I'm on a limited connection for 30 days during peak hours, and that this will continue to be applied when I go over 300 gig per month.
Now, my question is - if I still use the connection at full speed off peak, is there another threshold for when I'm going to be hit by a further rolling speed limitation? ie. does the speed limitation and usage 'reset' after 30 days, so I can carry on using the connection off-peak as much as I want, and then manage it more carefully after the 30 day period?
Thanks all!

Cheers for that - I had heard about the scrapping of the FUP (which is actually a major reason I signed up), was just wondering if there'd be any further penalties for downloading more off-peak after the buffer has been hit
Cheers!

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Basic question

Hello, i have a basic question. if i have defined 2 fields in a cube or a dso:
Name Quantity
and from the external flat file i get some characters for my quantity field. would my load fail? for standard dso and for write optimized?
NOTE: quantity field is a keyfigure defined as numeric.
and the load coming in has "VIKPATEL" for Quantity field and not numbers.
thanks

Hi Vik,
Yes, the load will fail.
May be you coud first load this data into BW (into PSA) and set both fields as characters fields. Then you can create DSO, do transformation from this PSA to the DSO, and put your logic as to what do you want to do with those Quantity that is not number (e.g. convert to 0, or 'Not assgined', etc).
You can use transfer rule, or a clean up ABAP code in the start routine.
Hope this helps.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

Fresh J:
A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall?
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:
